A few days have passed since the great battle with Moltres. Having returned to their hometown in Margaret town, the members of blue pegasus tended to their comrades' wounds.

" Men!"

" Yes, ichiya San!"

" How are our friends coming along?"

" Bacchus broke 4 ribs, his arms aren't bad, but they will be sore for a while. Other than that, he'll be fine."

" I see, that is good to hear. And what of Marco?"

" Well, that's the weird thing."

" What do you mean?"

" Well sir for a while his body was engulfed in flames. They weren't burning or spreading out, but when the cleared marco changed."

" What do you mean changed?"

" Well sir, you should probably just see for yourself."

The trimens show ichiya to the room where marco is housed and show Ichiya just how much he's changed.

" What happened to his body? He's Become so much Manlier Humph!" Ichiya said sniffing parfume and growing bigger. " His muscles have expanded. It looks like his body was chiseled out of Marble." Before he was in good shape, but now it looks like his whole body has just bulked up. Ichiya thought. " And his hair has changed as well!" His full head of blonde hair now has a bang of red. " Has there been any detrimental change to his health?" Ichiya asked

" No sir, Other than a few broken ribs. He should be fine in a few days. Honestly his regenerative powers are ridiculous!"

" I see, as long as our friends have made it through this battle that is all that matters. Humph! Now MEN! Let us leave them to rest."

" Yes Sir!" The trimens say as Ichiya leads them out of the medical bay.

A day later.

" Yahoo! Bring me more booze Haha!" Bacchus yells

" More food please!" Marco yells as he wolfs down the plates of Pasta and meats in front of him.

" Hey Marco, how about a little drinking game to pass the time huh?"

" You're on!" Marco yells as he and bacchus begin their Competition.

" MEN! It's good to see you both so energetic and manly again." Ichiya says as he joins them in their battle.

" Think you can keep up ichiya?" Marco asks downing another shot.

" Yaaaa! Let's get wild."

This stuff is strong even I'm getting drunk. " Bacchus you monster, you might have a stronger alcohol tolerance than cana!" Marco says

" Woohooo! Who's cana is she a babe?" Bacchus asks

" Oh yeah, Shesss a hottie but not as hot as my Mira!" Marco yells drunkenly starting to slur his words.

" Ahaaaa! I gotta meet this girl." Bacchus yells

" Men!" Ichiya said as he passed out drunk

" Only 40 shots ichiya, come on you can do better than that. AHAHAHA!" Bacchus laughs

" Yeah, Let's go Ichiya get up HAhahaha!" Marco laughed

after a few more minutes

" Wohoooooooo! 79 shots! Let's go MARCO!" Bacchus yelled

" Last call Bacchus! 3. 2. 1." Marco yelled as he and bacchus slammed the last shot in front of them. " 80 Shots! Let's goooooooo!" Marco and Bacchus yelled before they both collapsed

" Those guys are monsters!" Rin said as he and the other trimens observed their drinking contest turn into a drinking party.

" Ahaaa! Man, that was fun," Bacchus said as he began to stir after a long night of drinking and eating

" Yeah, it was." Marco said getting up and rubbing his bandages over his torso

' You Men are something else." Ichiya says getting up.

" You two listen up. I wanna thank you guys for sticking your necks out and helping me back there. I probably wouldn't have made it without you guys." Marco said to the two men in front of him

" No problem, Man, always gotta help a brother out." Bacchus says while laughing.

" Absolutely, My dear brother we MEN always have to stick together.

" Brothers huh?" Marco says with a smile before reaching for another bottle of sake. Marco proceeds to pour each man in front him a cup of sake

" You want another contest already?" Bacchus asked

" No, this isn't a contest."

" Then what is this?" ichiya asked holding up the sake cup

" Where I come from, we have a sacred tradition for those we share a bond with. The sake cups of brothers. I trust you two with my life, and with this drink the three of us become Brothers bonded together not by blood ties, but by our hearts." Marco said as he raised his sake cup.

Bacchus and Ichiya looked at each other for a second and without hesitation the two men Raised their cups together with marco and cheered.

" To You My Brothers!" They all yelled together before downing their drinks. The three men no longer friends, Now bonded together as brothers. Suddenly the good mood is brought to an end as marco drops his sake cup.

" Yo Marco you alright?" Bacchus asked

" I'm fine, but I just got a bad feeling. I'm going to head home, but before I go you guys take this." Marco says as he pulls out a piece of paper and tears off two pieces. " This is called the paper of life or a vivre card. You can use this to find me wherever I am in the world. And as long as this paper is still here you will know that I am still alive." Marco says as he hands the two men each a piece of the paper.

" You got it. If you ever need my help, just give me a call." Bacchus says as he gets up and shakes marcos hand. " I'll be there brother."

" I as well Marco."

" Thank you both, now I've got to go make sure those idiots didn't blow up magnolia while I was gone." Marco says before turning into a phoenix and flies away.

" What a guy." Bacchus says as he watches the bird fly further and further out of sight.

" Hm!"

I don't know what's going on, but I got a bad feeling about this. Marco thought as he flies towards magnolia.

At fairy tail.

" No Mira!" Elfman yelled

" She got erza too?" Happy asked

" Don't be a fool return them too normal this instant!" Makarov yelled at evergreen before a bolt of lightning hit the stage where all the women of fairy tail were currently turned to stone.

" Well, it looks like all of your fans decided to head home. Pity, because it looks like the party is about to start." Laxus said

" I should have known."

" Freed! Bickslo too!" Gray said recognizing the men who had appeared

" The thunder legion!"macao said

" What the heck are you guys trying to pull?" Wakaba asked

" Come on let's have some fun." Laxus yelled

" I've had about enough of your nonsense turn them back or else!" Makarov yelled at laxus

" You better play nice if you want these ladies to join the parade." Laxus said as a bolt of lightning appeared above lucy

" No Stop!" Makarov yelled as the bolt struck close to lucy's stone body

" In other words, I'm taking all of them hostage. Break the rules and I'll shatter these chicks one by one. Or i could just smash them all right now."

" I'm not amused laxus. Stop fooling around." makarov said

" I'm serious old man." Laxus said

" I've always wondered who was the strongest in the guild now it's time to find out." Freed said as he jumped down from the rafters.

" Yeah, let's have some fun!" Bickslo said

" There's only one rule, whoever's left standing in the end is the winner." Laxus said getting glares from everyone. " It's a fairy tail Battle Royale." Laxus yelled

" Nice and simple, just how I like it. I'm fired up now." Natsu said slamming his fist on the table.

" Glad you could see it my way. if nothing else you got the right attitude about it." Laxus said

" Natsu!" Makarov said

" This is a festival, right? Let's party!" Natsu said walking towards laxus

" Have you forgotten how badly he beat you the last time you guys went at it?" Warren asked

" Yeah, but I was just a kid back then."

" WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS LAST YEAR!" Warren yelled

" Yeah, but since then I've become a man." Natsu yelled as he rushed laxus

" On the other hand, I think that attitude of yours is going to get you in a world of hurt. Why don't you sit back down!" Laxus yelled as a bolt of lightning struck natsu knocking him down

" Natsu!" Gray yelled

" I told you so." Warren said face palming

" He's no man." Elfman said

" Poor guy he was just starting to feel better." Happy said looking down at the smoking natsu.

" Naturally, if you want me to turn the girls back to normal, you're going to have to defeat us first." Evergreen said

" But those odds aren't bad. There's four of us and like a hundred of you guys." Bickslo said

" You have 3 hours and not a second more, after that these pretty statues will be reduced to dust."

" You kidding me?" Macao asked

" All of Magnolia is the battlefield. the battle will start when and if you can find us." Laxus said

" Laxus how could you? I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!" Makarov said turning into a giant.

"NOW! NOW! Simmer down old man. It's all part of the festival, right? It'll be fun. LET THE BATTLE OF FAIRY TAIL BEGIN!" Laxus yelled as he turned into lightning and disappearing along with the thunder legion.
